Tonight is my first class. Do you know how to talk like a pirate in Spanish? I think that would weird out my poor students...

Well, I found how to talk like a German pirate... http://www.talklikeapirate.com/howtogerman.html... but it doesn't look like it has taken hold in Spanish very much. Except for the whole Spanish pieces of eight idea.

You can translate a whole webpage at this site: http://www.syddware.com/cgi-bin/pirate.pl

I wonder what it would do with a non-English website.
